INNOVATION FUND 2018

The Innovation Fund for 2018 is available to organisations, group, or partnerships working in Wales who wish to deliver outreach activities or events during Adult Learners’ Week and throughout the month of June.

We are looking for activities which are creative and can reach new audiences, particularly those adults who have not engaged in learning for some time, and have the potential to gain media interest. We are particularly keen to fund organisations working together in their area and support groups who may be working with a wide range of agencies and may have the involvement of adult learners as part of the decision-making process or part of the promotional activity.

Adults learn in all sorts of settings for many varied reasons. Here are some examples of organisations and venues which have previously engaged with our campaigns:

Adult Learners’ Week is an annual campaign which celebrates and promotes adult learning opportunities. Promoted by the United Nations, Adult Learners’ Week has developed in over 40 countries around the globe. In Wales we use this campaign to reach out to individuals and communities who have low skills and few qualifications. Adult Learners’ Week gives individuals the chance to take a step towards developing their skills; whether they want to get a better job or build confidence to access a course. The campaign provides an umbrella to promote formal and informal opportunities and to celebrate lifelong learning.
